There are a couple of interesting stories in the papers this morning, and the most worrying is a report in the Mail about Cesc Fabregas. The Arsenal captain spent an emotional evening with 2500 fas in his hometown of Arenys de Mar in the north of Spain, where they laid on a celebration in recognisance of him winning a World Cup medal.
As part of the fiesta, the Daily Mail relates that a video was shown of Fabregas’ early years at Barcelona, and the crowd cheered every time they saw him in a Barca shirt. It seems Fabregas then took the stage in an emotional state and said: “‘I hope to see all of you more often and closer.”
Wenger won’t be pleased as he issued a plea to Fabregas to come out and announce his loyalty to Arsenal just a couple of days ago, but it seems the Spanish midfielder has done just the opposite!
In another story in the Daily Star, they say that the German international midfielder Mesut Ozil, who was so impressive at the World Cup, has asked Werder Bremen to reduce his asking price, so that he can complete a move to either Man Utd or Arsenal. Ozil is entering the last year of his contract, and after refusing to sign a new one, Werder risk losing him for nothing next summer if they don’t compromise on the price this year.
Personally, I think Ozil would be an adequate replacement for Fabregas even if he cost £20m, but if Wenger can get him for £10m then I wouldn’t complain
